Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of wastewater treatment and relates to an MVR process device for treating sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater. Background Art

[0002] The desulfurization and denitrification wastewater generated in the steel sintering desulfurization and denitrification process is generally treated with pretreatment (removal of suspended solids) + steam stripping deamination and other processes, and thallium removal processes are configured as needed. Because the desulfurization and denitrification wastewater contains Class I pollutants such as arsenic, lead, and thallium, this treatment process meets the Class I pollutant emission standards and then flows into other water treatment systems for further treatment or dilution of other pollutants such as COD and total nitrogen.

[0003] Wastewater treated by this process still has high salt, chloride, sulfate, and COD characteristics. Entering other water treatment systems will cause water quality fluctuations in these systems and affect their normal operation. Under the current requirements of water conservation, emission reduction, and salt reduction and control, the entry of such high-salt water into the wastewater reuse system has a significant impact on the water quality of the entire plant. In actual operation, the reuse water treatment process is mostly based on membrane methods. Although the volume of this high-salt wastewater is relatively small, it has a significant impact on the membrane method. Operational practice has shown that the reuse water treatment process is prone to scaling and membrane fouling, resulting in reduced treatment capacity, shortened membrane element life, and greatly affecting treatment stability. If this high-salt water is diluted with other treated water and discharged, the total amount of pollutants such as COD and total nitrogen may exceed the discharge standard.

[0004] In summary, the amount of high-salt wastewater generated in the steel sintering desulfurization and denitrification process is small, and it has the characteristics of high COD and high total nitrogen content. The existing technology lacks a treatment process device with high stability, high safety and low cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the current lack of an excellent treatment method for wastewater with high salt content generated in the steel sintering desulfurization and denitrification process, the purpose of this application is to provide an MVR process device for treating sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater.

[0006] MVR is the abbreviation of mechanical vapor recompression technology. MVR evaporator is an energy-saving technology that reuses the energy of the secondary steam it produces, thereby reducing the demand for external energy. The principle of the MVR evaporator is to use a high-efficiency steam compressor to compress and evaporate the secondary steam produced, increase the pressure and temperature of the secondary steam, and pump the secondary steam with increased thermal energy into the heater to heat the original liquid again. The heated original liquid continues to evaporate to produce secondary steam, thereby achieving a continuous evaporation state. Because MVR can reach a lower operating temperature, it is often used in the treatment of high-salt wastewater with complex components and volatile components. In the MVR process device for sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater treatment provided in the present application, an MVR evaporator is used to achieve wastewater treatment.

[0007] In the device provided herein, wastewater undergoes pretreatment to adjust its pH and remove most suspended solids before entering a single-effect forced circulation crystallization system for evaporative crystallization.

[0044] Example 2 Process flow of an MVR process device for treating sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater

[0045] The wastewater from a steel desulfurization and denitrification plant was treated using the device provided in Example 1 of the present application. The process flow of the treatment was as follows:

[0046] (1) Pretreatment: The wastewater from sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater A is passed into the pretreatment module, the pH is adjusted, and the mixture is allowed to settle after mixing and reaction to remove suspended solids generated by heavy metal reactions in the pre-process, thereby obtaining high-salt wastewater;

[0047] (2) MVR low-temperature forced circulation crystallization system treatment: The high-salt wastewater obtained after pretreatment is passed into the MVR low-temperature forced circulation crystallization module for treatment. Through a one-step crystallization method, reusable water and solid waste are finally obtained.

[0048] In step (1), the inlet flow rate of the sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater is 20 to 50 m 3 / d; the sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater contains a large amount of salt substances and suspended matter, among which important indicators include chloride ions, sulfate ions, calcium ions, and ammonia nitrogen; the pH of the sintering desulfurization and denitrification wastewater is very low, at 1 to 2; the COD value is 500 mg / L to 1000 mg / L, and the TDS value is 50,000 mg / L to 100,000 mg / L.

[0049] In step (1), 1 to 3 mol / L sodium hydroxide is used to adjust the pH to 6 to 9 and then gravity sedimentation is started. The pH adjustment to 6 to 9 can, on the one hand, prevent the subsequent evaporation system from corroding the evaporation equipment under acidic conditions; on the other hand, it can prevent calcium carbonate scaling and ammonia nitrogen volatilization, so it is a relatively reasonable pretreatment method. In order to save alkaline reagents, after adding dilute alkali to adjust the pH, gravity sedimentation is used to remove suspended matter. Step (1) can utilize the original pretreatment system (i.e., the existing pH adjustment, sedimentation, intermediate water tank, etc.) without the need for a new pretreatment system. Most of the suspended matter is removed by adding alkali to adjust the pH to 6 to 9 and gravity sedimentation. The sludge generated in the gravity sedimentation tank is dehydrated through the original pretreatment system and treated as solid waste after dehydration.

[0050] In step (2), the high-salt wastewater obtained after the pretreatment is lifted by a suction pump connected to the intermediate water tank and directly enters the MVR low-temperature forced circulation crystallization module. The MVR low-temperature forced circulation crystallization module includes two circulation systems: low-temperature forced crystallization circulation ( Figure 2 medium orange-yellow lines) and steam condensate circulation ( Figure 2 The two are carried out simultaneously and heat exchange is achieved; in the MVR low-temperature forced circulation crystallization system, the circulating pretreated high-salt wastewater is lifted by a suction pump and first passes into the "water / condensate" heat exchanger (the first heat exchanger). After being heated by the temperature of the condensate, it is transported to the heater box of the shell and tube heat exchanger (the second heat exchanger). In the shell and tube heat exchanger, the circulating liquid is diverted to each heat exchange tube, and the flow rate is controlled at 1.5m / s to 3.0m / s to prevent crystallization or scaling from adhering to the surface of the heat exchanger and affecting the heat exchange efficiency.

[0051] High-salt wastewater (circulating liquid) flows at high speed in the heat exchange tubes of the shell and tube heat exchanger, absorbing the heat generated by the condensation of steam outside the heat exchange tubes to heat and increase the temperature. By controlling the pressure in the tubes to be lower than the saturated steam pressure at that temperature, the high-salt wastewater will not boil in the tubes. After the high-salt wastewater is heated by the shell and tube heat exchanger, it flows out and enters the separation chamber of the flash tank. Due to the sudden drop in pressure in the separation chamber of the flash tank, the high-temperature high-salt wastewater flashes here, the brine is concentrated, and crystals are precipitated. In addition, the crystals are co-crystals of calcium sulfate and crystalline salts. The secondary steam generated in the flash tank passes through the vapor-liquid separation device to remove salt droplets, and is then extracted by a mechanical steam compressor to increase the temperature and pressure. The heated steam is used as the evaporation heat source of the heat exchanger in the shell side of the shell and tube heat exchanger to achieve cyclic mechanical heating and evaporation. The distilled water condensed in the heat exchanger is discharged after heat exchange. The high-salt wastewater crystals produced in the flash tank are further concentrated and crystallized as part of the fluid passes through the slurry reflux pump. The concentrated liquid part flows back into the shell and tube heat exchanger, and the crystal part is separated by the solid-liquid separator. The separated liquid also flows back into the shell and tube heat exchanger, and the solid crystals are treated / disposed of as solid waste.

[0052] In the MVR low-temperature forced circulation crystallization module, the pressure in the flash tank is maintained at 500-600 Pa and the temperature is maintained at 50-60° C.; the temperature of the rest of the system is maintained below 85° C.

[0053] The one-step crystallization method described in step (2) refers to the process of continuously increasing the salt concentration (i.e., saturation) in the circulating liquid by mechanical compression and continuous evaporation of the solvent, so that it reaches a supersaturated state, causing the solution concentration to exceed the theoretical equilibrium concentration, thereby generating a new phase; there are a large number of calcium sulfate seed crystals in the flash tank, so that most of the crystallization in the treatment system can be controlled to occur in the flash tank rather than in the pipeline, further avoiding pipeline scaling.

[0054] In order to control calcium sulfate scaling and reduce system corrosion, the present application controls the system to operate at a low temperature below 85°C through a slurry reflux pump. Under low temperature conditions, the newly crystallized calcium sulfate is calcium sulfate dihydrate (gypsum), and gypsum is a soft crystal that will not cause scaling of the heat exchange tubes. In addition, the pretreated wastewater evaporation process adopts a one-step crystallization method, that is, the wastewater is directly fed into the crystallizer without concentration. In the one-step crystallization process, crystallized salt and calcium sulfate are precipitated together in the crystallizer, making it easier to control scaling. The circulating fluid contains a large amount of calcium sulfate and crystallized salt crystals, which will cause a great scouring of the heat exchange tubes, thereby controlling calcium sulfate scaling. At the same time, the scale is a mixed scale of calcium sulfate and crystallized salt, and the crystallized salt can be dissolved by hot water to perform descaling.

[0055] Furthermore, for the evaporation system in the flash tank, the main factors affecting system operation are scaling control and product water quality assurance measures. The evaporator of this evaporation system adopts a forced circulation evaporation low-temperature mode operated under slightly acidic conditions and with seed crystal addition to avoid equipment scaling. The technical solution of this application prevents scaling and ensures product water quality through the following methods / principles:

[0056] 1) Operation under slightly acidic conditions: Under slightly acidic conditions with a pH of 5, carbonate and bicarbonate in the wastewater will basically not form calcium carbonate scaling, so calcium carbonate scaling can be effectively controlled;

[0057] 2) Forced circulation crystallizer: The forced circulation evaporation crystallizer adopts external heating. The wastewater is heated in the heat exchanger and flash evaporated in the separation chamber of the flash tank. The concentration of the wastewater does not change during the heating process, but the concentration increases after flash evaporation in the separation chamber. Therefore, crystals such as calcium sulfate will precipitate in the separation chamber of the flash tank, avoiding the precipitation of crystals on the wall of the heat exchange tube and causing scaling of the heat exchange tube;

[0058] 3) Surface attachment and growth of calcium sulfate seed crystals: There is always a certain concentration of calcium sulfate seed crystals in the separation chamber of the flash tank. The precipitated calcium sulfate crystals will preferentially grow on the surface of the seed crystals rather than on the wall of the heat exchange tube, further avoiding the possibility of scaling on the wall of the heat exchange tube;

[0059] 4) Flushing effect of crystals: A large-flow mother liquor reflux pump is used for forced circulation, so that the circulating liquid runs at high speed in the heat exchange tubes. The flow rate is controlled at 1.5m / s to 3.0m / s. The high flow rate of the circulating liquid through the heat exchange tubes reduces the occurrence of scaling. At the same time, the circulating liquid contains a large amount of calcium sulfate and crystallized salt crystals, which will cause a great flushing of the heat exchange tubes, thereby controlling calcium sulfate scaling.

[0060] 5) Low temperature conditions: When operating at a low temperature of 85°C, the newly crystallized calcium sulfate is gypsum (calcium sulfate dihydrate). Gypsum is a soft scale and is not likely to cause scaling of the heat exchange tubes.

[0061] 6) Co-crystallization: This process adopts a one-step crystallization process. Calcium sulfate, calcium sulfate and crystalline salt are crystallized and precipitated at the same time. Therefore, even if scale is formed, it is a mixed scale of calcium sulfate and crystalline salt. Therefore, as long as hot water is passed to melt the crystalline salt, the calcium sulfate scale can be easily cleaned off, saving a lot of calcium sulfate cleaning chemical costs.

[0067]

[0068] Electrical conductivity measures the electrical conductivity of water. The conductivity of water is related to the amount and type of dissolved electrolytes. Conductivity reflects the total dissolved solids content in the water, including organic matter and inorganic salts. High conductivity may indicate contamination or other environmental issues.

[0069] After being treated with this device, the conductivity and Cl concentration of the wastewater were reduced by more than 99.5%, and the nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations were reduced to undetectable levels, indicating that the wastewater treatment effect was good and the wastewater can be used as recycled water in industry.
